Begin With Love

Begin with Love.

You can go on
many journeys
in your life
and in your mind –
is not the reality
you perceive
as fluid as
your state of mind?
What will you put
into your suitcase
to accompany you
on this trip –
when thinking
what to pack,
might you
begin with Love?

Can you let Love
be your companion
on any trip
that you take,
is not Love
the Great Interpreter,
understanding any language
you may hear,
can you not find Love
in any destination,
is Love not everywhere –
can Love not help you
find Peace,
when you
begin with Love?

Might Love be a filter
to separate out
what feels right,
you are growing,
ever-changing,
so your views
my change as well,
who is your constant
companion,
when you wish
to make sense
of You,
is it not a perfect
place to start,
when you
begin with Love?

Let Love be your
touchstone,
a cornerstone of
where you build,
let Love be your
Guiding Light,
illuminating your path,
there is no place
that is not Love,
though you might not
recognize the view,
until you see
where Love shines in,
when you look
and begin with Love.

And how can you
begin with Love –
is not Love always here?
Is each moment
not a chance to see
the Love That You Are?
You wish to be
the expression
of All That Is
on your Journey here –
might each step
you take with Love
let you begin with Love?

Beginning is a birth,
you are creating everyday.
Be Love now.
Express Love now.
Begin each breath,
begin each moment,
begin with Love.

A Hug of Love

Wrapped in a hug
of Love.

You hug a child
and when they
are so young,
do they not melt
in the arms of Love,
you hug your pets,
hold them close
to you,
as this Loving Force
surrounds you, too –
there is a contentment,
peace,
a smile forms –
when you are wrapped
in a hug of Love.

You hug your family,
your friends so dear,
some you can bear hug,
others a quick hug
will do,
but do all not respond
when arms reach
out wide,
when with open hearts,
feeling Love inside –
you are wrapped
in a hug of Love.

And as all is energy,
you need not be near
to send an intention
of a hug
to someone dear –
who could use a hug
that you may not
usually include
on your list to Love,
but do not All
long for Love,
to remind them of
Who They Are –
can you send a loving
thought,
wrapping them in
a hug of Love?

When you are feeling
separation,
feeling that you
are alone,
a physical hug
can be a comforting
reminder of Love –
but we wish
to assure you,
Love Is Everywhere
You Are –
can you focus on
your heart
and feel it wrapped lovingly in
a hug of Love?

Love always surrounds you.
It is a hug
that is always there.
Cradling You.
Supporting You.
You Are So Loved.
You Are Always
wrapped in
a hug of Love.

Circle of Love

11/23/17

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Who do you see
in your Circle of Love?
They may be near
or far away –
across the miles,
or Loved Ones
that you will see
one day,
but are All
not here,
circling around
your grateful heart,
for does not your
Circle of Love
surround you, too?

Place settings may change,
friends come and go,
traditions may stay,
some are memories past,
you may wonder at times,
“Where am I to sit?”
There is always a place
in the Circle of Love.

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Is it not your heart
that forms
the Circle of Love?
Do you not begin
with Love,
letting your heart expand,
who can you surround
with your Circle of Love –
you need not physically
be at the table
or feast,
to partake in the bounty
of a Circle of Love.

Form a circle,
now let it expand,
yes, you make room
in your Circle of Love –
there is always a place
for you to Be,
join hearts,
feel the Love
that surrounds you now –
come sit at the table
of the Circle of Love.

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Hearts connecting
in Gratitude,
always connected
with Love.

Love Heals

11/19/17

Love heals.

Yes, hearts can break,
feel sad,
can mourn,
but can not
your beautiful heart expand
to tenderly,
lovingly,
fill each crack
with the healing balm
of Love?
Love heals.

In the human duality,
yes, the heart can play
many roles,
going through cycles,
feeling full,
feeling loss,
as it is the center
of your Be-ing –
but do these experiences
not give you the
opportunity
to see beyond
what is
or is not?
Love heals.

With Gratitude,
does Love not fill you,
lift you up,
filling in the spaces
you thought were empty,
healing wounds
you thought were ignored –
does Love not see you
as You Are –
a magnificent Be-ing
of Love expressed –
when you see You
through the Eyes of Love –
Love heals.

Yes, your human heart
may sometimes
feel worn and battered
from the ups and downs
of the experience of life,
but with Strength and Courage,
can you not expand
the heart and soul
of Who You Are –
to experience the Love,
the Heart of You,
that nurtures,
that cradles you
in its loving arms –
is this not when
the healing begins?
Love heals.

See you
with the
loving heart
of You.

Love fills.
Love soothes.
Love heals.

Welcome Love

20171117 XPicture

11/17/17

Open arms.

When you visualize
open arms,
is this not a symbol
of inviting in,
of welcoming –
please come in
and sit down,
you are welcomed
with open arms.

And is not an
open door
another way to say,
“I am here”,
does not an open door
let others know
you are available,
accessible,
come in,
sit down,
welcome in.

Is there not comfort
in welcoming,
with open arms,
with hearts
full of Love,
do open arms
not symbolize
acceptance,
belonging,
does not this symbol
of coming together,
of a connection made,
help to reverse
the feeling of
separation –
do open arms
not welcome you
Home?

And does not this feeling
of Coming Home,
happen when Love arrives
with open arms –
this familiar place,
this loving space,
where you feel welcome,
where There Is Love,
when open hearts
connect as One,
when you open doors
with open arms?

Welcome Love
with open arms.
You make the connection
when you give or receive.
Invite Love in,
sprinkle Love throughout.
Welcome Love.
Welcome You.
Welcome Home.

A Love Note

20171110 XPicture

11/10/17

Take care.

Can you take care
of you,
can you take
a moment or two
to relax,
to breathe,
to check in
with you?

Can you not learn
a thing or two
from your pets,
the animal world –
who follow their instincts –
when tired,
do they not lie down,
when sick,
do they not conserve,
when they want to play,
do they not engage,
do they not take care
of their needs
in every moment
of their day?
Take care.

Yes, there are tasks
you wish to do,
work or a job
takes time from you,
unless you are present
in those moments, too –
take care.

Can not any moment
be a loving space
that fills you up
instead of taking away –
does it not begin
when you are ready
to say,
“I will take care
of me today!”
Take care.

You are programmed
to give,
you may think that
taking is “bad”,
but does not the
battery pack in you
need a chance to recharge,
rejuvenate,
regenerate –
as You take care
of you?
Take care.

“Care” is a loving way
to say,
what might feel good
to you today –
what might you pamper yourself
with some loving care?
An extra cup
of a favorite drink,
some extra time
of quietness,
turning up your favorite
song,
as you sing joyfully
along,
to close your eyes
when sleepiness comes –
take care.

Is not taking care
an intention,
does it not begin
with a loving thought –
does it not occur
when you look
in the mirror,
sending unconditional Love
to you –
is not taking care
a love note
to be opened
by you,
can you read
it out loud –
“I Love You”
and
“Take Care!”

Love,
You.

Dance of Love

IMG_5929

11/05/17

New and familiar
both at once,
do you not marvel
when you feel
you have been
somewhere before,
or when someone
you just meet,
feels like greeting
a treasured friend,
do not connections
go beyond
what you can see,
what you think
you know –
as energy moves
beyond space
and time,
can you not be
connected
any place,
any time?

And the You
who You Always Are,
vibrating with the
Frequency of Love,
does this not mean
you always are
together with
the ones you Love?

Whether physically
here or there,
or unseen
across the veil,
are you not all
part of a spiritual soup,
do you not swim
in this Sea of Love –
are you not aware
of the ripples of Love
that you create
and that you feel?

There is an energy,
a hum,
that you can feel
with your heart,
does not your soul
recognize
when you are
connected to Love,
might you feel
that spark
when you realize,
“I know you,”
and
“I Am Home!”

New and familiar
both at once
even when different
are you not the same –
always connected,
always together
in the Eternal
Dance of Love.

Listen to
the tune of Love,
that plays
in your heart,
as you sing together
and dance
your way Home.

A Comfort Place

20171102 XPicture

11/02/17

Comfort.

Where is your comfort place?
You may find it
where you lie
on a bed so firm
yet soft,
pillows, blankets
add to the comfort
when you are lovingly
tucked in.

There is comfort
in the food
that helps you
feel safe,
makes you feel warm –
bringing up
treasured memories
of food that was
made with Love.

You find comfort
in the presence
of friends or family
who love you so,
there are those
who you trust,
when you can be You
and can let go.

Is it not the giving
and receiving
of love that takes you
to your comfort place,
it can be a physical experience,
but is not Love
in your heart,
not just your mind –
can you bathe
in the Love
that wraps you up
and keeps you warm –
is there not comfort
in Love,
can you let Love
comfort you?

There is Love
all around you,
you are wrapped in
the arms of Love –
as it is Love
that breathes You,
when you open up
your heart –
can you feel the warmth
spread over you
like a favorite
bowl of soup,
as You Are Love,
can you accept comfort
from You?

Let Love be your comfort,
may you find comfort
in Love –
you may need physical
reminders,
to help soothe
the body that
works so hard,
but does not Love
soothe the soul
and as it resonates
with Love –
is Love not your comfort place,
as you trust, allow
and then let go?

Find the comfort
in the space
where Love finds you –
There You Are!

Always wrapped
in the loving
Arms of Love.

Kaleidoscope of Love

20171101 XPicture

11/01/17

Take a chance.
Try it on.
You can always
choose again.
At the beginning
or throughout the day,
can you try
something new,
or look at the same thing
in a different way,
can you set the intention
to see all with
the Eyes of Love?

Might your perspective
of what you see
change like a
kaleidoscope,
when you set your filter
to look upon all
with the Eyes of Love?

What patterns will emerge,
what amazing colors
will appear,
will not Love
rise to the surface,
when you look with
the Eyes of Love?

What may have seemed
routine,
now infused with
Light and Love,
is it not an opportunity
for you to see
its Light
reflected back to you –
does not all
appear as new,
when you look with
the Eyes of Love?

In the present,
in this moment,
can you turn up
your Light,
your Love –
do you not see
with your heart,
when you look with
the Eyes of Love?

Is not any moment magical,
when Love lights the way –
might you bring color
to all that you see,
set your filter to experience,
may Love show you the way –
is there not clarity
in what you see,
looking with
the Eyes of Love?

May you see so
clearly now
as you look through
the Eyes of Love.

Recharging With Love

20171031 XPicture

10/31/17

You wish to “capture”
a loving experience.
And what is it
that you wish
to freeze in time
with pictures,
or notes –
what comes to you
when you re-create
the experience
in your mind,
yes, your body responds –
you smile,
you remember,
but is there not
an activation,
an opening
of your heart –
was not the Love
that was felt “before”
created from this
heart-felt space?

And yes, any gathering
of loving souls
can boost the batteries,
as you turn up the Love
in your heart –
now that you know
the power that Love
can generate,
can you be
a generator of Love,
turning up your
Love and Light,
to be a Source of Love
for All to see?

You may need
to recharge,
regroup,
replenish –
but as Love Is
your creative Source,
as you are fueled
by All That Is –
is there not a
limitless supply
of power,
ready to refuel
the battery pack of You –
can you plug in,
turn on,
burn brightly
as the Love
That You Are?

To Be the Presence of Love
That You Are –
you need not go
or “do” anything special.
Can you find the dial
to your Source of Love
and turn it up
to recharge with Love
and as a Bright Light,
can you shine your Light,
your Love
for All to see?

Love is the fuel
that generates
the Power of Love,
the Power of Light.

Regenerate.
Recirculate.
Keep it flowing –
Love.
